on the second third day

on the second third day of christmas, my TypePad gave to me...

photo albums! yay!

these photo albums have to be the greatest part of TypePad. all i have to do is upload my photos - up to 15 at a time - give each photo some title or caption or location or place or whatever i want, and BAM: instant photo album.

instant navigation, instant thumbnails, instant cover page, instant happiness.

my least favorite thing about hand coding such albums are those bleep-ity-bleep back and next links. how i abhor those. especially when i want to wedge another photo in the middle sometime later - everything breaks too easily, and im fed up with dealing with them.

i know that there are album gallery software out there, but they are just so... ugly. and last time i looked at them (its been a while, ill admit), they werent very customizable.

these photo albums are like a good maid: takes the chocolate-stained white blouse from my emotional hands, disappears into the back to work some magic, and reappears with the stain gone and the blouse brighter to dry my tears. there there, its all better now.

i want to curl up with these photo albums and snuggle for hours while it whispers sweet nothings in my ear.
